Selected for CEC, bridging work permit for spouse question

[praveen717]

Hi guys

I submitted my EE profile and got ITA under CEC - me and my spouse. I was the principal applicant.. We will be submitting the documents in two days..

At this moment I am under open work permit which is valid until July 02nd 2017.
My wife is in Visitors Visa which is valid until June 26th

I am working in NOC B job and my contract is until February 2018

So once I submit the documents for PR and get the AOR or R10 - Can i submit a bridging work permit for myself and my wife at the same time? Is that possible? Or should I get first get Bridging Work Permit and apply for my spouse? and in the meantime does she have to exit Canada since her Visitors visa is expiting soon? Because I don't want my wife to go back to India and wait until she gets her PR.

Please suggest me what to do?

After you submit your e-APR and receive the email AOR, then you can apply for the BOWP.

Only the principal applicant is eligible for the BOWP.

The spouse is eligible for a spouse open work permit, based on the Principal Applicant's BOWP.

You can submit both applications at the same time.

Good luck!

Ohhhhh WOW... thank you for letting me know that.

Do you think its possible I would get my BOWP rejected?

There are no issues with my documents or Express Entry info's... Its just is that possible for someone to get their BOWP rejected for some other reason?

The main reasons that applications for BOWPs are refused are:
(1) your application for PR is rejected as incomplete.
(2) you forgot to pay the "open work permit" fee in addition to the work permit fee
(3) you did not select "open work permit" on the work permit application.
(4) you did not include the email AOR (this shouldn't matter because it is in the system, but I have seen that discussed as a reason).
(5) you applied too late, after your work permit has already expired.
(6) you applied too soon, with more than 4 months left on a current permit.
